Little bit about me

by Oana_bic - last update: Sep 27, 2005

- known as Ioana, Oana, Joanna, Io, Jo, Wacc, Spanak, Joanninna
- planning to be a philosopher, persuaded by friends to be a journalist, transformed by family into an economist, converted by luck into a marketing lady, promoted Product Manager, internationalized by a Master in European Business, fascinated by stock markets, ended up so far as a banker...long story cut short:)
- used to love philosophy & literature once, turned into a party animal, traveller addicted, restless & demanding job seeker
- favorite lectures once: Hermann Hesse, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Henry Miller, Karl Gustav Jung, Pascal Brucknere
- current lectures now: statistics, accounting, fixed income, derivatives, asset management...CFAs favorite ones:)
- though still enjoying more or less same artists: Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael, Auguste Rodin, Constantin Brancusi, Michelangelo

Here's my favorite nowadays:

How to be sure you work in a bank:

1. You sat at the same desk for three years and worked for
three different companies.
2. Your company "Welcome" sign is attached with Velcro.
3. Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket.
4. You get really excited about a 2% pay raise.
5. You learn about your layoff on CNN.
6. Your biggest loss from a system crash is that you lose your best jokes.
7. Your supervisor hasn't the ability to do your job assignment.
8. You sit in a cubicle smaller than your bedroom closet.
9. Salaries of the members on the Executive Board are higher than all the Third World countries' annual budgets.
10. You think lunch is just a meeting to which you drive.
11. It's dark when you drive to and from work.
12. You see a good-looking person and know it is a visitor.
13. Free food left over from meetings is your main staple.
14. Being sick is defined as can't walk or you're in the hospital.
15. Art involves a white board.
16. When 100% of your time means 20 hours.
17. You work 200 hours for the $100 bonus check and jubilantly
say, "Oh wow, thanks!"
18. All real work gets started after 5 p.m. or on weekends.
19. Your boss's favorite lines are "when you get a few minutes", "in your spare time", "when you're freed up", and "I have an opportunity for you."
20. Vacation is something you rollover to next year or a check
you get every January.
21. The only reason you recognize your kids is because their pictures are hanging in your cube.
22. You read this entire list and understood.

 I don't work in a bank! But I certainly understand! Was interested in your Cuba tips, as I have never been, and you came up as the featured traveler just now.
